House, formerly farmhouse. Various dates but mainly C17 with C18 and later alterations. Brick with roofs of black glazed pantiles. East side of two storeys in three bays, each of which is set back from that to its right and each have late C18 crenellated parapets. Northern bay is the return of original house c.1650. English bond brickwork. One C19 two-light cross casement each floor separated by platband. Hipped roof gabled back into gabled main roof. Central bay is lower. Timber door behind Tuscan columns which support dentiled pediment. Overlight. Moulded extensions to pediment extend to cover narrow margin lights each side of door. Sash window to first floor with glazing bars. Platband at first floor which continues into south bay. This bay identical to north bay thus lending the facade an uneasy C18 symmetry. These alterations are applied to an extension of original house of c.1660-70. Behind the two hipped roofs is the gabled roof of the rear range with a ridge stack set to the right. Three further stacks emerge through roof slope at intervals. All stacks are C19 rebuilds. Of the c.1650 house only one bay of north front survives : platband continues and scars of two blocked windows remain, one subsequently half obliterated by rising C19 stack. Beyond stack the gable head of rear range emerges.

Rear range (west front) of c.1670-80. Two storeys and dormer attic in five bays of irregular disposition. Doorway right of centre below open pediment. False fanlight above C20 glazed door. One c.1900 gault brick single storey canted window bay to each side of doorway. Fenestration is of sashes with glazing bars, mostly with rusticated surrounds and pilaster strips which form rebated panels. Deep platband at first floor with dentiles. Moulded eaves platband. Four gabled dormers in roof fitted with casements.

Interior. Open well staircase c.1670-80 rises to attic storey. Square newel posts with rebated panels and ball finials and drop pendants. Moulded closed string. Fat turned balusters and moulded handrail.
